The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas handicapper Kelly Stewart and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the Titans’ season in the 23rd of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

What is expected of quarterback Marcus Mariota? In 12 games as a rookie, he passed for 19 touchdowns but was sacked 38 times.
To help Mariota, the Titans retooled their running attack by adding power backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, a second-round draft pick from Alabama. Murray led the league in rushing with 1,845 yards for Dallas in 2014.
Tennessee’s first three games (Minnesota, at Detroit, Oakland) are winnable and should set the tone for the season.
Will the Titans, 3-13 last season, improve significantly with stronger leadership from coach Mike Mularkey and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau?
Over or Under 5½ regular-season wins?
